statement out of washington on this. and i wonder from your view, is it worse to go over the cliffs for the market or to have a pared down deal that the marnlts don't like. >> they probably have some kind of deal that probably spares the majority of middle-class americans and tax cuts that prevents this sort of chaotic automatic spending cuts and things like that but think in general the markets have lost their patience with the process. i think a failure to come to a deal would be a reminder of what as seen on paper seems obvious. even that is not likely. so i think a small deal is better than no deal, but, you know, as mike said we're heading for another fight just like last summer the summer of 2011 when the debt ceiling was kind of held hostage to this process. >> which industries are really affected? who's going to be hit by this? >> the spending cuts kind of hit all at once. it's probably the defense that's probably the number one industry that gets hit but there's all kinds of unintended and unexplored areas that

for cbs "this morning," chip reid washington. >>> cbs news legal analyst jack ford joins us. how can you prove defamation? >> here's what defamation is for people to understand the desks, if you will. our constitution right to free speech is not absolute. there are limitations on it. for instance, the classic one, you can't falsely yell fire in a crowded theater. falsely yell it. because obviously, you can expose people to damage. what you can offer up is your opinion about things. as long as it's clearly an opinion. what you can't do this is where you get into defamation. you can't make a false statement of fact that damages somebody's reputation. so if i wanted to say, a situation similar to this i was just not at all happy with the work that my contractor did. that's okay. that's my opinion. but if i say, i was not at all happy with the work that my contractor did and by the way my contractor is an embezzler. okay? now i've made it sound like -- or he sol jewelry or even make the argument saying he damaged my house. now you're making a statement of fact. now, the law also
